Finance

Owens Electronics has nine operating plants in seven southwestern states. Sales for last year were $100 million, and the balance sheet at year-end is similar in percentage of sales to that of previous years (and this will continue in the future). All assets (including fixed assets) and current liabilities will vary directly with sales. The firm is working at full capacity. Balance Sheet (in $ millions) Assets Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Cash $ 11 Accounts payable $ 24 Accounts receivable 29 Accrued wages 11 Inventory 32 Accrued taxes 17 Current assets $ 72 Current liabilities $ 52 Fixed assets 49 Notes payable 19 Common stock 24 Retained earnings 26 Total assets $ 121 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 121 Owens Electronics has an aftertax profit margin of 9 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent. If sales grow by 25 percent next year, determine how many dollars of new funds are needed to finance the growth. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions, (e.g., $1,234,567).)
